View from Barming Bridge
This view of the River Medway looks downriver from Barming Bridge. The Medway Valley Walk follows the left hand bank. Up until 1740 the river had been fordable at Barming allowing farmers to cross the river to land they owned on either side. In 1740 the River Medway was made navigable and as it had to be deepened it became difficult to cross without a bridge. One was then built. The bridge has been destroyed on two occasions. The first was in 1795 due to flooding, and the second in 1914 when a 10 ton traction engine, which had tried to cross the old wooden bridge, ended up upside down in the water. The old wooden bridge was declared unsafe and replaced by a concrete and steel structure in 1996.

Medway below Barming Bridge
The bridge is a single span steel truss, replacing a three span wooden bridge in 1996. Footbridges both, although the wooden bridge was formerly a road bridge. It collapsed beneath a traction engine in 1914 and was rebuilt. The engine ended up in the river. The recovery must have been tricky.
